Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a viscosity modifier for lubricating oils that results in improved fluidity in a wide temperature range from low to high temperatures, compared to conventional additives. Additionally, the use of this viscosity modifier results in a lubricating oil composition with reduced viscosity that maintains good balance in the same temperature range.

Problems solved by technology

However, this does not mean that the viscosity should be simply lowered, because abrasion is caused at a sliding part at a high temperature.

Abstract

Provided are a viscosity modifier for lubricating oils for obtaining an additive composition for lubricating oils having excellent fluidity in a wide temperature range from low temperature to high temperature; and said additive composition for lubricating oils. Further provided are a viscosity modifier for lubricating oils for obtaining a lubricating oil composition capable of reducing viscosity in good balance in a wide temperature range from low temperature to high temperature; and said lubricating oil composition. The viscosity modifier for lubricating oils includes an ethylene α-olefin copolymer (A) which includes 30 to 50 mole % of structural units derived from at least one α-olefin selected from α-olefins having 4 and 5 carbon atoms and 50 to 70 mole % of structural units derived from ethylene (with the proviso that the total of all structural units of said copolymer is 100 mole %) and which satisfies specific requirements (a), (b), and (c).

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the priority benefits of U.S. provisional patent application 61 / 971,980, filed Mar. 28, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a viscosity modifier for lubricating oils, an additive composition for lubricating oils, and a lubricating oil composition.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Petroleum products have so-called temperature dependence of viscosity wherein a large variation in viscosity is exhibited with variation in temperature. For example, for lubricating oil compositions used for automobiles or the like, it is preferable that the temperature dependence of viscosity is small. Therefore, in order to decrease the temperature dependence of viscosity, a certain kind of polymer which is soluble in a lubricating oil base is used in lubricating oil as a viscosity modifier.[0004]Ethylene.α-olefin copolymers are widely used as viscosity modifiers for lubricating oil...
